Berta Brager née Schild

Berta Schild was born the daughter of Louis Schild and Rosalie Schild, née Heimann, on 26 October 1870 in Strasburg in West Prussia.
She was married to the lawyer Siegfried Brager, who was born in Hamburg on 15 September 1864. The couple lived at Lessingstraße 24 in Moabit. In 1911, their daughter Irma was born as their only child. Irma managed to escape to Mexico during the Nazi regime. Siegfried Brager died in 1926. Berta Brager gave up the flat in Lessingstraße in 1933.
After that, the only known address is Claudiusstraße 4, where Berta lived as a subtenant with Cäcilie Skotzki. From there she was deported to Theresienstadt on 4 August 1942.
Berta Brager survived Theresienstadt. After liberation, she moved back to Berlin, where she lived in the Ludwig Hoffmann Hospital in Buch. In 1947 she moved to Switzerland, where she lived in a clinic in Sankt Gallen and in the Jewish Home "La Charmille" in Riehen, supported by her daughter Irma. At her own request, she moved back to Berlin in 1950, where she died on 25 September 1952. Like her husband, she was buried at the Weißensee cemetery.
